Mr. Václav Kučera, Chairman of the Board
We perform thorough analyses before buying any machines, not only the
ones for soil processing. The analyses are executed both in the phase of
technical execution, getting to know the seller and on the basis of the
available study materials concerning the machine. Furthermore, we learn
about the machine on the site during the presentation. We decided to buy
the “Excelent Premium 6” sowing machine on the basis of our long-term
experience, economic and fi nancial calculations as well as visits
of referential places with diff erent sowing machines (since 2007). On the
basis of the information obtained and experience of four participating
companies (Amazone, Farmet, Sulky, Väderstad), we decided to buy
Excelent Premium 6 from Farmet, a traditional Czech producer from Česká
Skalice. We used it for sowing barley and corn in spring or cereals and rape
in autumn on an area of 400 hectares within the test run.
Our decision was also based on the pleasant ratio of the capacity and
price. From the practical point of view, we appreciated the excellent
results of working in heavier soils and soils that are more diffi cult
to process. Namely, crumbling clods under very dry conditions is perfect
thanks to the combination of the digital leveller and front wheels. The rear
double rubber-tyred roller ensuring full-area compaction immediately
after sowing eliminated the need for following passing which saves both
land and fuel. Fuel is also saved thanks to the construction of the machine,
particularly the low tensile resistance. We are very glad that the producer
also took into account the practical operating requirements when
constructing the machine. And the management of JIZERKA also
appreciates the helpfulness and openness of the production company as
well as the promptness and approach of the service department. In future,
we would like to cooperate on further development and improvement
of these sowing machines. We will most likely approach Farmet in case of
future replacement of worn-down machines. Also, the cooperation with
Fomex Team, Farmet’s business representative, has been very helpful and
professional and we will refer to this company in relation to the solutions
of our requirements.
